Omg I am sooooo bored of all the AI. It’s everywhere. I’m all for it being used to solve medical conditions etc but making up songs from any word I type? Turning a bland photo into something it isn’t? Helping me type a fucking email? Go away. Just go the fuck away.

Morning! What a view to wake up to!

If you're looking for a good reason to celebrate it's the 80th anniversary of the death of the vain, dumb, ignorant, arrogant mass murdering racist Adolf Hitler - who died knowing that everything he had built was crumbling to dust around him.

Just been to look around an amazing college in Bristol centre for middlest. Music production, performance and photography to name a few. Can someone build a Time Machine to take me back 30 odd years please? Right up my street!

Little to celebrate here. UK still insistent on sending children to school in 1950s office cosplay. Boys (and some girls) from 11 forced to wear ties – why? Kids from 5 often in clothes unsuitable for play – why? Enforced posh shoes that cost a small fortune – why?

I have lost connection with words at the mo. Can’t read. Can’t write. Can’t even think of witty things to post here let alone somewhere like Substack. My creative well is parched so I’m taking a break from it all.

From a teacher at yesterday's Exploding Words festival: I just wanted to message and say a massive thank you for the schools event today!...The children were so engaged and when we got back to school they actually asked if they could read their story ideas from your session out to their classmates!

Well I have completely failed in my boycott of Instagram. Currently the only place that actually works to advertise myself as an author.

I bloody adore this stretch of rail! En route home after a fantabulous day at The Exploding Words festival.

Such a good day of workshops with engaged kids. Books almost sold out too. Reminds me why I do this. Now if I could just get the publisher to see how invested these kids are in my books, they might give me another contract!

Heading to Cornwall for the night and because my suitcase is full of books I can’t fit my usual pillow in. Argh. I haven’t slept without my pillow in ages. Cue: insomnia…

Yes it's annoying but who is going to police this?

If we can get this to 2k by the time the 2025 #Curae prize shortlist is announced on 1st May, that would be THE BEST. Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed. Please share and repost. Thank you 💙📚

Waking up before 6am has become my new norm. I used to think my grandpa was crazy for getting up at 5. Now I know why. #wideawakeclub

Calling ASD a “disease” is stigmatizing and without basis. Tracking people with ASD in a database is fascistic and terrifying.

Happy St George's Day. A reminder that half of England is owned by less than 1% of the population. Some of these aristocratic landowners have inherited land since the Norman Conquest. England needs land reform and a strong Community Right to Buy! whoownsengland.org
